“I once loved her, now I love you! Not because you're her reincarnation but because you're you! Kagome Higurashi!” he cried.

“I-Inuyasha… I l-love you t-too.” she said as she took her very last breath.

She went limp.

“KAGOME!” Inuyasha yelled as he lifted his head up to the raining sky.

Sacrificial Love

Chapter 3

Nighttime in the Inuyasha Forest (Inuyasha's POV)

Crumpled in the rain by my love I felt defeated. Earlier I had put Kikyo back to rest, my duty to her was fulfilled, that was one promise I kept.

Flashback (Normal POV)

Inuyasha was hugging the limp frame of Higurashi, Kagome, his bestfriend, his mate, his koi. Tears stained his cheeks, although you couldn't tell the difference because of the rain. Inuyasha felt as if the rain was crying for him, as if they too felt that it was unjust that a beautiful, wonderful someone that deserved so much more that a hanyou had sacrificed their life so that he could live `happily'.

`Why? Why did you do that? BAKA! I lost you; I never wanted to lose you, not now NOT EVER!' his mind screamed as his grip on the miko tightened, if it was possible.

“Inuyasha, it is time we will go to hell now.” Kikyo said in her monotone.

`Go to hell now? So soon? But what about Kagome? No I cannot go to hell, my koi is here even if she is not alive. I will be by her side until the day I die and reunite with her.' He thought.

“I am sorry Kikyo, I cannot go to hell with you. My duty for you was done. I fought and defeated Naraku in your name.” He said.

“You will do as I say, you once said you loved me, did that mean nothing? If you love me than we shall go to hell.” Kikyo said this time with sternness.

“Kikyo don't make this harder than it already is, I-I have fallen in love with Kagome. I can't leave her even in death. I will find a way to save her!” he said.

“You are being deceived by your mind Inuyasha. That girl… she is only my reincarnation nothing more, that is why you think you love her, because she reminds you of me. It is I that you love not her.” Kikyo replied.

“No Kikyo, that's-that's not true. I may have seen her as you before but not anymore. She is her own person. When you were alive you were distant and mysterious, but Kagome she-she is the total opposite of you and I have to admit that she has made me feel ways that I have never imagined to feel. She may by mysterious but she isn't distant she's-she's my Kagome. My one and only. I am sorry Kikyo.” He said.

“I will leave you with that but I tell you Inuyasha one day you will regret it and hope to come back to me but you won't be able to. I refuse to let you come back. If this is your final choice I will not be like that girl and wait for you, I will leave.” Kikyo stated.

Inuyasha's bangs covered his eyes.

“I'm sorry Kikyo but my heart and soul is with Kagome.” He said sadly.

“Good-bye Inuyasha.” Kikyo said before the fires of hell swallowed her up.

“Good-bye Kikyo.” Inuyasha whispered shedding one single tear for the woman he used to care for.

End of Flashback (Inuyasha's POV)

I have kept one promise, but the one I wanted to keep the most was broken. I couldn't protect you Kagome and now you left me… all alone. But now I will make another promise to you my koi, I'll find a way to bring you back, I know it is selfish but I cannot bear to live without you. I will go ask Sesshomaru if I have to, I would die for you, my koi.

Kaede's Hut (Normal POV)

Everyone in the hut was quiet, no one wanted to speak. They were all mourning for the loss of Kagome. Even Sesshomaru stayed, he knew that Inuyasha had feelings for the miko and he felt pity towards him.

`As much as I hate that half-breed I must admit to loose something so precious would be heart-breaking. This Sesshomaru would not know what to do if This Sesshomaru lost Rin.' He thought. Obviously he did not tell anyone this for fear of becoming `soft'.

All eyes were turned towards the door where Inuyasha stood with Kagome in his arms, drenched in blood and rain.

“KAGOME!” Shippou cried as he ran towards Kagome.

But he stopped when Inuyasha emitted and low and dangerous growl from the bottom of his throat. Sesshomaru knew that growl. It was one where the dominate mate did when he felt that his mate was being threatened or in any kind of danger warning other demons to stay clear.

“Inuyasha?” Shippou asked gently.

Again he growled.

“Sesshomaru, I need to talk to you.” Inuyasha said in a low and dangerous tone.

Sesshomaru nodded, stood up and followed Inuyasha out of the hut. Inuyasha gently set down Kagome under the Goshiniboku (anyone wanna help me with that spelling of that?).

“I want you to revive her with the Tenseiga.” Inuyasha said in a cold voice.

“Why would This Sesshomaru help you half-breed?” he question an elegant eyebrow raised.

“Because I love her dammit!” Inuyasha yelled, unable to control his emotions any longer, “Because I love her…” he whispered as a few tears dropped.

“And your love for this mortal girl has to do with This Sesshomaru how?” he asked. Sesshomaru had made up his mind that he would save her because he understood he himself would feel if he were in Inuyasha position. He could not bear to lose Rin either. (A/n: umm ya right now he thinks of Rin as like a daughter ok? Nothing more! She's too young!). Sesshomaru just wanted to test Inuyasha's love for her.

“Please Sesshomaru! I'll give you anything all you have to do is swing that damn sword over her!” Inuyasha pleaded. He would do anything to keep Kagome alive.

“And what do you have to offer that is worthy of This Sesshomaru?” he asked, now interested in his benefits.

“I'll-I'll give you my Tetsusaiga!” he replied, than added, “And my left arm too so you can wield it!”

Sesshomaru was shocked even though his face remained stoic.

`He is willing to risk his transformations and lose his arm for his girl?' Sesshomaru thought in disbelief.

“This Sesshomaru agrees to your terms but first I want the Tetsusaiga, after she is back This Sesshomaru will personally chop of you arm.” He said.

Inuyasha nodded without thinking, and handed him the sword. Sesshomaru put it behind him and took out the Tenseiga. Sesshomaru saw the servants of the underworld and with one quick stroke he sliced them apart.

“Kagome!” Inuyasha cried as he saw her hands clutch together. In one swift moment he bent down and crush her small frame against his lean muscular chest, but quickly let go when he heard her gasp of pain.

“Kagome?” he asked concerned. Then turned to Sesshomaru.

“What's wrong with her?” he yelled.

“Calm down, she is alive but her inner wounds have not yet healed and your sudden act of disgusting affection caused some of her wounds to open.” He replied.

“Keh.” Was Inuyasha's reply as he looked at his Kagome, concern evident in his eyes.

“Now, do I get the arm?” Sesshomaru.

“Yes. Just let me hug her once more.” Was Inuyasha's reply as he hugged Kagome's form and planted a chaste kiss on her forehead and then her lips, which made her smile, even in her state of unconsciousness.

“I love you my koi.” He whispered.

Slowly Inuyasha stood up and held his left arm out. Sesshomaru took out the Tetsusaiga even thought it burnt him and held it above him ready for a strike. Inuyasha closed his eyes ready for the pain but it didn't come from his arm no, something hit him on the chest and so he opened his eyes to see the Tetsusaiga on the ground and Sesshomaru's retreating figure.

“Weren't you going to cut my arm off?” Inuyasha asked.

“No, This Sesshomaru was merely testing you. This Sesshomaru does not need that sword to become powerful for This Sesshomaru is powerful enough as it is. Farewell little brother.” Was Sesshomaru's reply.

“Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha started, Sesshomaru turned around.

“Thanks.” He said and turned back around to Kagome.

Sesshomaru left.

“Inu-yasha?” Kagome whispered, coughing violently as it was hard to talk.

“Hush Koi, don't talk. Thank god you're alive” he said as he embraced her tightly afraid that if he let go she would disappear.

Kagome blushed at the name.

“Kagome, I'll admit I was so scared when you died, I felt as if I would die too, and I would have. No let me continue.” Inuyasha said as he saw Kagome's mouth open in protest.

“And I would have if I couldn't save you because without you I have died. I love you so much Kagome, you cannot imagine.” Inuyasha finished.

“Inuyasha…” Kagome breathed as tears formed in her eyes.

Mistaking thought as tears of sadness Inuyasha's eyes went wide and his ears went flat against his head.

“Please! Don't cry Kagome! I hate it when you cry! Please stop!” Inuyasha panicked.

“Baka!” Kagome yelled as she cried in his haori. Awkwardly Inuyasha patted Kagome's head.

“I-I love you too…” Kagome replied blushing 7 different shades of red.

“You do?” Inuyasha asked in disbelief.

“Yes I do Baka.” She laughed.

“And I you Koi.” He replied nuzzling his nose in the junction of her neck and shoulder and taking in her wonderful scent.

She smiled into his haori. Then slowly she brought her fingers up and lifted Inuyasha's prayer beads above his head.

“K-Kagome?” he asked in confusion.

“I don't think that you should be bound like that Inuyasha… I'm sorry if you're mad during these few years….” She said looking guilty.

“Kagome…” Inuyasha breathed as he drew her into a tight embrace. He nuzzled her silky raven hair.

“Inuyasha…” she whispered as she too wrapped her arms around his neck. They stayed like this for a few minutes.

“K-Kagome?” he stuttered.

“Yes?” she asked.

“Will you be my mate?” Inuyasha asked.

She smiled her most genuine smile that melted Inuyasha's heart instantly.

“Of course I will.” She said.

Hesitantly he lifted her the hair from her collarbone and sunk his fangs into her skin. He felt her stiffen and felt guilty for causing her pain, again.

`I promise you Kagome I will never let you feel pain of sadness anymore, only joy for you are my Koi.' He thought.

Slowly he licked the wound and it closed up. He lifted his head and smirked.

“Now we should continue the ceremony shouldn't we my koi?” he smirked.

Kagome blushed, smiled and gave a slight nod. Slowly Inuyasha captured her lips with his. Kagome was lost in the passion of his kiss. Inuyasha poured all his emotions into that one kiss.

`My koi…' he thought.

Kagome felt Inuyasha's tongue lick her lips, asking for entrance. Shyly she opened her lips and gasped at the new sensation. Inuyasha smirked against her lips. Reluctantly he pulled back sensing that Kagome needed air.

“Let us begin the ceremony…” Inuyasha said huskily as he took of his outer haori and laid it down on the grass. Slowly he pushed Kagome down on the haori as he captured her honey sweet lips with his.

`I love you my Koi…'
